Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill.
Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill
I am sorry again to tax the Committee’s patience, but we are replacing the flexible common law judicial discretion case by case with a system of statutory rules. But we do not have any statutory rules on procedure yet. Will what the noble and learned Baroness has said apply to magistrates’ courts? Are the powers sufficient to deal with them?
